ICC - Tactical Performance Manager - Northern House
The closing date is 08 July 2026
South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SCAS) is seeking a forward‑thinking Tactical Performance Manager to provide daily leadership, operational oversight and tactical command across our Integrated Contact Centres (ICCs) with this opportunity based in Northern House.
This pivotal role sits at the heart of our emergency and urgent care response, ensuring teams, systems and resources operate safely, efficiently and in line with Trust standards. You will lead daily tactical decision‑making, manage unpredictable demand, support deployment teams, and work closely with clinical, call‑handling and 999 Operations leaders to maintain patient safety and meet performance targets.
As a Trust tactical commander, you will also take decisive action during major incidents, acting as the First Incident Commander until the wider command structure is in place.
Key responsibilities include producing performance reports, driving quality improvement, supporting patient safety investigations and ensuring regulatory compliance. Working collaboratively with internal colleagues and system partners, you will influence operational delivery and support continuous improvement across the ICC.
If you thrive in high‑pressure environments, enjoy leading teams and are ready for a challenging and rewarding leadership role, we welcome your application. Please indicate your preferred location.
Main duties of the jobThe Tactical Performance Manager role has two distinct elements: daily tactical leadership and local deployment management. While the post holder is the daily TAC lead, they will be responsible for Trust operational performance. This role alternates between the integrated contact centres and provides 24/7 cover.
The lead will ensure both ICC and 999 operational policies and procedures are deployed as per agreed business as usual. In the instance of a major incident, when on tactical rotation, the role acts as First Incident Commander whilst the major incident leadership is mobilised in line with the Trust Incident Response Plan. The lead will ensure escalation plans are enacted to deliver operational performance to meet internal and external key performance indicators.
When performing as deployment management, they are accountable for day‑to‑day running of the relevant deployment model and team management; however, during times of a major incident or short‑notice absences, they will revert to the Tactical Lead. The post holder is expected to act independently, taking decisions to ensure operational delivery for the organisation, driving change and improvement by supporting and influencing both clinical and corporate teams.
The post holder will deputise for the Assistant Director of ICC – Resource / Deployment internally as required and at a system and ambulance sector level.
